About
The Reading Circle acontece a 21 de novembro de 2026, The Community Works, em Oxford.
If you’re keen to find a way in to reading and appreciating poetry, discover new writing, and open your mind to the world of poetry, welcome to The Reading Circle. Come to OPL’s poetry reading group where we’ll share and discuss contemporary poems (and occasionally poems from the late 20th century) in a relaxed and inclusive peer-led environment. Questions we’ll be asking include: What makes a poem ‘work’? Why do we like a poem? Why don’t we? Is there such a thing as a fashionable poem? Does it matter? Can we love a poem we don’t fully understand? What makes mystery different to obscurity? What might we learn from other poets that can help us enrich our own craft? The Reading Circle meets on the third Saturday of each month in The Community Works. Our next 3 sessions will be on January 17th, February 21st, and March 21st and will happen from 2pm to 4pm. Tickets are £7 for general admission (£12 for those able to donate a bit more) and registration is required . We have a limited number of free spaces, so please onlly use this option if you are unable to meet the cost of admission so that they can be taken by those who really need them. All proceeds go to the running costs of the Oxford Poetry Library and our ability to continue providing these sorts of sessions. If you aren't able to come on the day, please do cancel your booking, to free up space for others. Facilitated by the established writers and prolific readers Alan Buckley, Vanessa Lampert, and Carl Tomlinson. The building is accessible, but if you have any specific access needs, please drop us an email at oxfordpoetrylibrary@gmail.com beforehand.

How do I find my photos?
If photos from this event are published on this page, a "Find my photos" button appears. Tap it, tick the consent box, allow camera access and take a selfie. TIME&SPACE uses face recognition to show you the photos you appear in.
Is my selfie stored?
For a short time, and only to find you. Your selfie is turned into a mathematical pattern that matches you to this event's photos. The photo and the pattern are both kept privately and deleted within 30 days, and are never used for anything else.
How fast does face recognition work?
Usually under 1 second. TIME&SPACE searches every photo from the event at once.
